SOFT MUSIC
,
By Jim Manee
Every little voter has a chance today,
In an easy, breezy, secret way,
To jot down on a ballot what he has
to "say."
Let every crooked runner take a
warning.
This evening when the count is made
. we all will know
Just who will come and who will go.
There'll be a lot of funeral music
soft and low
"So very, very early Thursday
' morning."
P. S. Wonder how many contests
will be threatened.
